Jury comment

Mahon Pool Amenities is a simple yet memorable and poetic project that speaks of profound respect for its sublime coastal surrounds. A seamless physical and visual connection is inserted, joining the clubhouse with the Maroubra rockpool beyond. The forms are skilfully considered and precisely executed, mirroring and blending with the ground below and clifftop forms beyond. Disciplined and confident, the outcome appears almost effortless, giving the insertion permission to be part of something bigger and making this project incredibly special.
